An obvious reason for such pessimism is the 2008 global economic crisis, which the UK is still【B4】______.Yet, many believe that Britons are inherently【B5】______,in contrast to their neighbors across the Atlantic Ocean.
"The big difference is the Americans are more【B6】______.And that’s due to the fact that Americans are told they can become the next president of the United States," British co median Ricky Gervais said.

It’s【B7】______that Britons’ reputation of having a "stiff upper lip"—being cold and not showing any emotion—【B8】______them.
Britain’s reputation as a grumpy country may, however, simply be the result of a cultural misun¬derstanding. British actor Michael Caine once said, "I think what is British about me is my feelings and【B9】______of others and their situations. English people are always known to be well-mannered and cold, but we are not cold—we don’t【B10】______your situation." [br] 【B9】
